ABSTRACT

The article focuses on the change of stance of G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts who called for the establishment of moral education without religion in the U.S. in 1909. Hall had argued that such system succeeds in Japan and it can therefore prevail in the U.S. But in the August 19, 1911 issue of "New York Times," he stressed that morality needs religious reinforcement and the schools should not to be so secularized as to turn out as godless.
